Preparing for a Local Move

A well-planned move starts weeks before your moving date. Reserve your container about a month in advance to ensure availability. Create a checklist and pack room by room to stay organized. Ask about building access, elevator reservations, or parking restrictions-especially if you're in areas like the Short North or German Village.

Ohio's weather can be unpredictable, so it's wise to cover floors or fragile items if rain or snow is expected. Label all boxes clearly and keep essential items, such as toiletries and chargers, in a separate bag for immediate use. Confirm your container delivery and pickup schedule early to stay coordinated with your timeline.

We also recommend reviewing secure storage options for those who may need temporary holding space before settling in.

Choosing the Right Container Size

Selecting the correct container size helps avoid wasted space or overpacking. Our Container Calculator Tool helps determine the best fit based on your home size and inventory. Whether you live in a compact apartment in the Arena District or a multi-level home in Worthington, our team can recommend the right container for your needs.

Breaking down furniture, tying loose items, and packing boxes evenly helps keep everything secure during transport. Filling empty spaces with soft goods like towels or blankets adds cushioning and prevents shifting.

Local Moving Regulations 

Before placing a storage container on the street, residents should review city guidelines. Many Columbus neighborhoods, especially downtown and the University District, require temporary permits for container placement. Check with your local authorities or HOA to ensure compliance and avoid fines or rescheduling delays.

For apartment complexes or residential communities with limited access, our team assists with placement solutions to meet property requirements. Understanding these rules before your move helps ensure a smooth, hassle-free experience.
